Daily Inspiration Quote by Pia Zadora

"If you have a guy like Jermaine, it's a pain in the neck. When we were on the road together in Europe, Jesus, I had to kick the girls off of him. I mean, they throw themselves on the floor and take off their hats"

About this Quote

It lands like backstage gossip with the volume turned up: Pia Zadora name-drops “Europe,” invokes “Jesus,” and then paints a slapstick tableau of women flinging themselves at “Jermaine.” The line isn’t really about Jermaine’s alleged magnetism; it’s about her proximity to it. She casts herself as both eyewitness and gatekeeper, the one who has to physically manage the chaos. That’s a classic celebrity-adjacent flex: fame by association, delivered with enough comedic exaggeration to feel like a story you’d repeat at a party.

The phrasing does a lot of work. “A pain in the neck” pretends to complain while actually advertising access to an orbit where desirability is an inconvenience. “Kick the girls off of him” is cartoonish, almost vaudeville, but it also quietly normalizes the idea that women’s attention is a mob to be controlled, not individual people making choices. It’s a gendered switcheroo: he’s the passive object, they’re the unruly force, and she’s the bouncer.

Context matters: Zadora’s own public narrative has often been entangled with questions of credibility, publicity, and who gets to be taken seriously. This quote reads like a bid to stay in the current by attaching herself to a larger, louder celebrity ecosystem (Jermaine Jackson-era pop royalty). The hats detail is telling: it’s not just sexuality, it’s spectacle, old-school swoon staged as an image. It’s less confession than performance, a quick monologue that turns fandom into farce and proximity into status.
